This past weekend the Girls High School State Championships hosted 8 teams from around the state. The ladies put a product on the field that would have surprised even the most staunch rugby purist. They played a controlled, aggressive game that had flow and structure. The games were only 20 minute halves but even in that small time frame, the ladies showcased quality rugby.
Additionally, we had a game that was refereed, touch judged, coached and played; all by women. I would never put forth the idea that only women should coach and referee women but it was a great feeling watching the outreach and development pathways working. All of these ladies performed at a peak level and the game was a pleasure to watch.
After the game, I had young high school players approaching me asking about becoming a referee! How exciting and what a great commentary on our modern game!
